.5cc of Emetrol contains .187 dextrose and .187 fructose. I would definitely not administer this to a ferret with insulinoma on a general basis. I have, however, given Emetrol to an insulinomic ferret when the nausea was in conjunction with an insulinoma seizure as additional sugar is necessary to immediately raise the blood sugar levels. When the stomach settles and seizure symptoms begin to subside, the ferret should immediately be given food containing high animal protein (I use egg yolk.) Extreme caution should be used when giving Pepto Bismol as it contains aspirin, which should not be given to a ferret who is also on a prednisone prescription, as this can cause severe stomach problems. Again, I am not a vet. My information is the recommendations of my vet, Dr. Kendrick, for the insulinomic ferrets in my care. Debi Christy Ferrets First Foster Home [Posted in FML issue 3021]
